Ten Friends Team Triathlon / Darmstadt Nordbad

The Zehn Freunde Triathlon / Darmstadt Nordbad (Zehn Freunde Team Triathlon) is a short, team-oriented triathlon designed explicitly for beginners, families and corporate teams. The series promotes a relaxed, festival-like atmosphere with pool- and garden-style post-race parties, children’s activities and an emphasis on safe, fun participation rather than elite competition. The standard race distances for the series are stated as a 380 m swim, an 18 km bike and a 4.2 km run and the Darmstadt edition uses the local pool venue (Nordbad / DSW Freibad) as the swim start.

The Darmstadt event page also publishes participant capacity and pricing details for 2026, showing a total capacity of 4,700 start places and a team-entry fee noted at €51.42 per person for 2026. Organisers advertise electronic timing, multiple aid/exchange points on course and family-friendly services such as food and beverage offerings in the event village. The event is promoted as part of the Zehn Freunde Triathlon series, which highlights beginner accessibility and community-focused race experiences.
